 That is fast. I have a 300 baud modem-card for a VIC-20 and a 1200 baud
modem-card for a C-64, and the software cassette for both. I also have a
1200 baud modem for a Mac Plus. At least I have the Mac to go with that
modem, I no longer own any Commodore computers. I did have a total of
three though.

 Jeez, I can't believe all the junk I have.
